borgified Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 The stickers don't really adhere that well. My Stealth 1J SSP pack has the stickers peeling off now which was applied by the previous owner if you had time to look at it @peter. Quote

I noticed that on my VF-1S Hikaru the stickers didn't adhere very well either. I trimmed mine so there wasn't a lot of extra clear sticker showing, but they do stick out like a sore thumb and I wish they came tampo'd on. I would consider decals (might have some left-overs from my Hasegawa 1/48....if I ever get around to building it), but worry about them scraping off if I handled the Valk too much. BTW, does anyone here have all four 1/48s? Club M Resin Yamato Hasegawa Bandai DX I realize that the Strike kit for the Bandai isn't out yet, but I'm kind of surprised nobody has done a side-by-side comparison yet. Quote

I have all four but not built. 1. Club M - unbuilt 2. Yamato - way too many but like using these for customs. 3. Hasegawa VF-1J - unbuilt 4. Bandai DX - VF-1J/A If you scour MW’s main page you will find comparisons you seek. Also, the internet has plenty of side by sides of the Yamato vs Bandai. Quote
valkfighter Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I still like it, It was ahead of its time when released. I love it!! Quote
RoadWarriorMax Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) my 1/48 hanging with Voltron Edited October 27, 2019 by RoadWarriorMax Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Nice looking VF-1S Strike set up. I like that Voltron. It’s one of my favorites. Quote

Alphahorizon Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I don't think that a sold a kidney would cover a third of the cost of that collection. Quote
peter Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 That's an insane amount of Valks, holy. Need to get a decent camera, set up some epic hanger shots or something with that collection. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 @Kicker773 is the real king of Macross 'round these parts. Quote

I guess my options are finishing the basement or buying all those valks. My wife will be happy with only one of those two choices. Quote

Have a dslr it setting up and doing glamour shots is not an option with two kids and very little time to myself. iPhone pics gotta do for now. The 1/48 section, that I will take my time and use my dslr. Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I took my guys out of their boxes for some fresh air! Love that VF-1D kicker, she's a beauty! Quote
sh9000 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Awesome collections everyone and nice customs. Lots of inspiration. Quote

Whoa you have the entire squadron in 1/48! Excellent! Those 1/48 Yammies still look so good in fighter mode. With the white landing gear, they look as good or even a little better than Bandai's in fighter mode. Quote

When I bought Kakizaki a few years back I decided I'm keeping these no matter what! The DX VF-1's are great in Gerwalk & Battroid mode but I agree, the Yamato still is the King IMO for Fighter Mode. The white landing gear & slightly larger nose makes all the difference plus a properly sized pilot. My biggest gripe with the DX is how small the pilots are. Soon I'll have the DX Hikaru 1S. Quote
Kicker773 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I found some Anasazi Decals and stickers of MG guard versions I think I can apply to the new DX 1/48 Quote

Yeah, the tiny DX pilot really throws the scale off and makes the VF-1 seem like the most gigantic VF ever built, when it's the smallest. Here's hoping someone with way more skill than me creates some properly sized DX compatible pilots. Quote
